MD's don't "fire" patients.  Just like a mother has the right to choose 
another physician, a physician has the right to decline to care for a patient whom 
he/she feels is endangering her child's health.  There are procedures for this 
with timetables, etc. to allow a patient time to find an alternate 
practitioner.  It is an entirely ethical practice.
